Registration is full.
Witness the annual natural phenomena of the dance of the yellow-spotted salamander. You are invited to join staff members at the heart-shaped pond, in Hemlock Ravine Park, to learn about salamanders and observe these mysterious creatures in their natural habitat. This event will take place on a wet night in April - we must wait for the salamanders to come out! Participants will be contacted the day before the outing.
Follow the Salamander Meander on our Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
